Kohli has failed to make India champions in three major tournaments in five years

Three days into IPL Part-2 and a month before the T20 World Cup, Kohli made a calculated announcement.

India's most successful skipper Virat Kohli has announced that he will step down as captain of the Indian cricket team in the smallest format after the ICC T20 World Cup. Three days before the start of IPL 2021 and a month before the T20 World Cup, Kohli made a big move by saying goodbye to the T20 captaincy and hitting many targets with one arrow. Leaving the captaincy of the T20 team, Kohli somehow secured the crown of his captaincy in ODI cricket till the 2023 World Cup. He was under constant pressure not to win the ICC Trophy and was frequently criticized for his leadership. Under Kohli's leadership, India played in the 2017 Champions Trophy and the 2019 World Cup but failed to win the trophy. He was then beaten by New Zealand in the final of the ICC Test Championship. In this way, Kohli has not been able to make India champions in three major ICC tournaments in five years.

Kohli made a very smart decision

After announcing that he would relinquish the leadership of the Indian team in this format after the T20 World Cup, Kohli put an end to many recent questions. He also did some other smart work in a very smart way.

Kohli had announced that he would relinquish the captaincy after the T20 World Cup but the reality is that he has not played in the T20 World Cup as a captain. Now he will achieve this. Kohli has captained the side in the Champions Trophy and ODI World Cup as well as the ICC World Test Championship.

If Kohli wins the T20 World Cup, he will remove the stigma of not being able to win the ICC Trophy and India will end an eight-year drought. Even if India cannot become champions, no one will point a finger at him for announcing his resignation from the captaincy.

Whether he wins the T20 World Cup or not, as he has decided to relinquish the captaincy, there will be no discussion about Kohli's one-day captaincy till the 2023 ODI World Cup as there is a possibility that Rohit Sharma will also be the captain of a format and Rohit should be made captain. Will not be done. With this, the wish of the supporters demanding split captaincy may have been fulfilled. On the other hand, Kohli will have an easy way to prove himself till the 2023 World Cup.

If India cannot become champions in the 2022 T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit or anyone else, then no one will discuss the need to change the captain in ODIs as the rest of the captains will be the same as Kohli. Rohit is also likely to relinquish the captaincy by the time the T20 World Cup is played again in 2024.
